What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volumetric flow measurements from gallon (UK)/hour to barrel (US)/second, assisting users in expressing small imperial flow rates using the large-scale oil industry unit.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in gallon (UK)/hour you want to convert
-
Select gallon (UK)/hour as the input unit and barrel (US)/second as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate in barrel (US)/second
Key Features
-
Supports conversion between gallon (UK)/hour and barrel (US)/second units
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
-
Provides precise results for flow rates commonly used in water treatment and oil sectors
-
Includes example conversions for quick reference
Examples
-
100 gal (UK)/h converts to approximately 0.000794 barrel (US)/s
-
500 gal (UK)/h converts to approximately 0.00397 barrel (US)/s
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying low-volume pump or chemical dosing rates in UK-based water treatment and process systems
-
Reporting small fuel or lubricant consumption rates where imperial units are used
-
Expressing drip irrigation, leak, or condensate flow rates originally in gallon (UK)/h
-
Reporting crude oil production rates using barrels per second in the petroleum industry
-
Sizing and monitoring capacities of crude-oil pipelines and pumps
-
Converting field flow measurements to SI units for engineering and simulations
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate entry of the flow value to maintain conversion precision
-
Be mindful that gallon (UK)/hour measures very small flows while barrel (US)/second measures large flows, leading to very small decimal results
-
Use this conversion when translating small imperial flow rates into standard oil industry units
-
Verify your conversions especially when used in critical engineering or production applications
Limitations
-
Conversions produce very small decimal values requiring careful interpretation
-
Volume units differ fundamentally in scale between UK gallons and US barrels
-
Not suitable for flows outside the small-to-large range covered by these units without additional unit conversions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 gallon (UK)/hour equal in barrel (US)/second?
-
One gallon (UK) per hour is equal to 0.0000079427905125983 barrel (US) per second.
-
Where is the gallon (UK)/hour unit commonly used?
-
It is commonly used to specify low-volume flows such as chemical dosing in UK water treatment and process systems.
-
Why convert gallon (UK)/hour to barrel (US)/second?
-
Converting allows expressing small imperial flow rates in the large-scale units preferred in the oil and gas industry for production and pipeline monitoring.
Key Terminology
-
gallon (UK)/hour
-
A flow rate unit representing one United Kingdom gallon of fluid passing per hour.
-
barrel (US)/second
-
A volumetric flow unit equal to one US oil barrel moving per second, commonly used in crude oil production.
-
volumetric flow rate
-
A measure of the volume of fluid which passes through a point per unit time.
